The Guerande salt flower - "Guérande Fleur de Sel" is always harvested by hand and is known for its gastronomic virtues. Less salty than Mediterranean salt, "Guérande Fleur de Sel" is milder on the palate and richer in flavor. It is recommended to sprinkle a little Guérande Fleur de Sel just before serving.

The salt is harvested in the summer when the mild weather combines air and sun in the Guérande peninsula, with great care from skilled workers. The salt worker uses a wide wooden rake known as a "las" to push the salt to the edges of the pond and lets it drain overnight. The next day, it is moved to the large salt stock known as "mulon".

"Guérande Fleur de Sel" is naturally white, rare, and of exceptional quality. The white salt crystals of Fleur de Sel are the best way to enjoy unrefined sea salt. This process takes place in special ponds with seawater and is carefully removed by hand. The crystals remain intact, offering unparalleled flavor and are particularly popular among French chefs.

The history of saltworks in the Guérande peninsula goes back over 2,700 years. Brittany's "white gold" was a highly sought luxury product, prized for its seasoning properties and particularly for its preservative action.
